MELL. EOYLE, (Editor ofthe Mnuch Chunk Coal Gazette) For the State Legislature. Oct, 19 -to. A Terrible licutli. Conrad Cramer, a boy of fifteen years, met his deatli Tuesday, in a manner ns hor rible as it was singular. Ho had been em ployed in hauling coal dirt from a culm pilo to tho lioilcr house fct the Hollenbaek shaft, near Wilkes-Barre. The dirt was placed in a car which ran over n narrow track laid on the top ofthe coal culm, and lo which a mulo was attached. It was tho habit of tlio boy to jump uhjii tho inulo's back, after dumping the load, and lido over tho return trip. Uuesday tiro liiulo acted badly, and on several occasions attempted to throw bis rider, hut Iho lad clung to hint, greatly to tho amusement of n largo gang of men who wero employed In the vicinity, and who laughed heartily nt what they termed tho " mule's " circus tricks." But their mirth wns suddenly turned to mourning. Tho persistent elloits of tho mulo to throw hu rider, ended ut Inst in success, nnd in falling off tho boy's legs became entangled ju tho harness, when tho Inylo began to kick furiously ut tho lad. Before nssistanco ar rived, Iho animal? fairly enraged, bounded forward, and, with the speed of tlio wind, ran off towards a picco 01 woods near by; the body of the poor lnd, in themeanllmc, being dragged ulon over sharp stones, ragged boulders and innumerable ugly projections. The boy hung directly in front ofthe mule'a loreieg, and when llio animal stopped, which ho did when he renched tho woods, he seized ono of tho boy's unns ill his teeth and literally toroit Into fragments. Ho then attacked other portions of the bruised and bleeding body, nnd with n fl.ndish malig nity toio open tho breast, thigh and back, laying tlio lion'es baro in many places. Thoso who witnessed the fight of tho mule hurried to the nssistanco of the boy, as quickly as possible; but when they reached him lifo was extinct and tho body mangled beyond recognition. Tho old miners wio had looked Uh)ii death in almost every form, turned their heads away involuntarily, sickened at tho horrible sight beforo them. Tliu Conl Trade.
